Will there ever be a love that strong again? 8 years I held on to it so tight a myriad of beautiful tales and poems I did write. The past is lovely, but mostly and justly forgotten. But still, so lovely to read like a book written by an unknown author I know him not, anymore. and now... countless lovers nay lovers, just faces have passed through time in the night I have not held on to one so long since... perhaps one lingers still but here I have chosen to omit an unfully realized love. Is this a lesson I learned in recompense? or is it just faded beauty? We hold nonchalantly and don't grip so tightly what we circumspect to fail? And here... Now... What tales will we tell? I see a few days gather in the near future in a week, what will come I know not. but there are a few times in life we see on the horizon such life altering decisions and possibilities that we have no control over However, we forget every day is... just like that. Every decision we make spins an infinite number of possibilities thrown onto the wind of fate. [This message has been edited by martiniat8 (07-16-2012 04:49 PM).] |

Probably the reason you have not help onto loves very long is because you never want to go through the pain of losing them again. Good write . . . ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I fell in love with this line "The past is lovely, but mostly and justly forgotten." Beautiful. You spoke the hidden words in my heart. -LB |
